Yeah I've never been a fan of the GW wights - one of them in particular looks like a badly drawn Judge Death from the 2000AD comic. I wasn't really hugely impressed with the werewolves either, but I managed to get hold of them cheap, so I bought em!
Like I said above, if I'd had more time I would have probably spent longer converting them and such, but I hate playing with unpainted figs
Again, with the wights, I couldn't really use the yellow/blue scheme without making them look like skeletons in jump suits, so I decided to paint them mostly black, highlighted in several layers up to grey. Then gave them a glaze of purple, and picked out each of the highest points with a blob of pure white so they look metallic. Just a case of painting one shoulder pad yellow so they have some cohesiveness with the rest of em - I was quite chuffed with the results
Again, thanks to everyone for your positive comments!
